No, really. I do.
If you haven’t watched the recent interview with Gary Faulkner, the now-dubbed “Bin Laden Hunter” [see this previous post], see below:
While many have found Faulkner’s actions bizarre/amusing/disturbing/tragic/all of the above, I’ve started to actually kind of like the guy. Here’s why:
Interviewer: Gary Faulkner, how does it feel to back in the USA?
Faulkner: Fantastic! I mean, it’s good – good to be back on native soil…Good to see you guys are still here too.
(Translation: Good to know there wasn’t a nuclear apocalypse in my absence. There’s just so many disasters Gary Faulkner can tackle at a time!)
Interviewer: Tell us about your trip – why did you go, what were you aiming to do?
Faulkner: There are a lot of people that talk, and this is one of our downsides of our society…too many people talk, too little action. Me, I’d rather do action, talk later.
(Translation: The only thing Osama bin Laden will hear when I choke hold him is the sound of awesomeness.)
Faulkner: There are people out there talking smack…you can say I’m a religious freak, you can say I’m a Rambo or a samurai or whatever, but you know what, I’m a person that said, you know what I’m going to get off my ass and do something…I’m on dialysis, I put my life on the line…now when you’re able to stand up and put your life on the line, then we’ll talk. Until then, you shut your mouth, you sit down and get to the back of the bus, better yet – you get off the bus, because this ain’t your bus, this ain’t your ride.
(Translation: When Bruce Banner gets mad, he turns into the Hulk. When the Hulk gets mad, he turns into Gary Faulkner.)
You may think Gary Faulkner is crazy. Mentally unhinged, even. But you have to admire the guy’s conviction. And he has a point – how many of us sit around talking, and how many actually try to get things done? Not a lot. And thanks Gary, for also challenging the “all Pakistanis are terrorists” perception. This warm & fuzzy Pakistani appreciated it.

The only guy in America with true b****!!
This guy Gary Faulkner is ambitious man. I wonder when nato and american army are unable to catch Osama, then how this man could catch Osama.
Because he’s hardcore, man, that’s why!
Seriously Praise be Gary Faulkner! At least he could step up for the call of duty unlike the so-called “silent majority” which is a silent spectator. The masses need to unite against the terrorist we need to stand up and let our voices be heard.
He used the word Paki a couple of times, but I’ll have to let it slide, cause he’s an American and not a Brit (where that word is considered a real slur), and the intention behind everything this very tough man said was nothing but California love.
Rock on Gary Faulkner !
If some Pakistani do this than what would the World Do
